OOF has a very focused purpose, being the framework for
Odoo. Changing to another paradigm might bring advantages but also
new problems, so it might be best to put some community effort and
try to improve OOF as much as posible.

What are the main things you would change, Mohamed Magdy? How can
anybody lend a helping hand on that?

Personally don't think this is an issue. Also, using
Django expects
to following their paradigm. If this was to change, for
worse or
better, it could affect how Odoo operates. To have its own
framework, means they have full control of their product.
Right or
wrong, I don't believe it to be issue. I can see the
advantages both
sides, but having their own seems better in my opinion.

I found the model inheritance in Django's documentation, it
is a
little bit different than what we found in Open
Object
Framework. But I think the concept is the same.

Change the framework is change
the
problems.

Django is "popular" but it do
not
become it as "best" there are a lot of similaritites,
but if
the core editor of the tool where do not have write
permisions
to improve at the speed they need and protecting the
job in
terms of branding it is too complicated make it
evolve.
